Strategic Planning
Excellent Teaching and Learning
Learning is central to all that we do as an organization. It is essential that the WGSD works to provide each student with an educational environment in which they can flourish and compete in the global workplace.
Students must be engaged in curricular experiences that are relevant, challenging and reflective of them and those around them. Given the complex task of creating such experiences for each student, it is essential that the district curriculum, practices and programs are continuously reviewed and refined to reflect the needs of students and an ever-changing world.
Pathways to Self-Discovery
In order to help ensure students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and beliefs to flourish upon graduation, we must provide them with a variety of rich educational opportunities and pathways to explore and learn based on their strengths, interests and/or passions.
Through the development and use of flexible, individualized plans, students will be better equipped to tailor their educational experiences in WGSD to help meet their current and postsecondary goals.
Personal Health and Wellness
As a microcosm of society, WGSD has experienced a marked increase in the number of children and adults needing assistance with their overall health and well-being. If not healthy and well, students and staff are unable to thrive in the classroom or beyond.
In partnership with families, professional organizations, and one another, we will ensure practices, structure and systems in place that support the health and happiness of all, while providing individualized care and resources for those in need.
Organizational Sustainability and Growth
In order to continue to meet the needs of our learners, current and future, WGSD must maintain flexible structures and systems which attract and retain the highest quality staff, demonstrate fiscal responsibility and promote positive and productive relationships with all members of the district community.
